First UK koerung - Page 6

 arbeiter on 05 April 2010;


perhaps mikey57 would like to be a helper next time-and he may like to not to wear a sleeve at all.
I still reckon he's a kc. spy or a bagsd loony.
be interesting to know if he has ever organised anything worthwhile.Or perhaps his wife nags him at home.

(high profile) "bagsd loony", my sources inform me.

Ignore- as the SV surely will

Red

To answer Mikes daft points...

Me pick to compete at a GSDL or BAGSD trial????   Hell No.   I just want to do the required for my passion which is showing, bearing in mind that we have a brilliant new beginning emerging in the UK
You mention my dogs protection marks - Yep thats what she got - wasnt there  as she did it  in Germany however had friends that went over to see her performance at the end...got lots of video from them ....., but I have no reason to believe that she didnt get trained beautfully, as she trains well here for us too. 
I dont read here at all where I have laid blame on the judge for the issues that went on at the Koerung.  So you are going to give him a call - feel free its a free world, and he speaks good English, but then I expect your Deutsche would be very good wouldnt it.
Irish Seiger - may be - may be not - make what you will of that. 

You will be there keeping an eye on me ???   flip, I have a stalker !!!   And if I went, and my dogs dont "perform" then I have a long haul home you say - eat humble pie you say - why would I be earting humble pie, I have never said that my dogs are extra special, its you thats been trying to prove that they are not.  They are my dogs, and I`m proud em but Yep, you got one thing right, I`d be gutted if they mucked up, (til the next cup of coffee and a laugh with my mates) but I and others have to take that chance when we put our dogs up for it.   Once again I have to say - I have a life, and it doesnt depend on whether my dog is good or bad, it depends on balance and realisation that this is a hobby that we all keep trying to enjoy, regardless of people like yourself. One thing I know.  If my dogs should not make the grade anywhere, I wont be ashamed of them, I will ask the good friends that are much better at this than me..

Helper being blamed for soft sleeve? not at all - have we had it confirmed yet that it was a soft sleeve? Is it disqualifiable if so? Richard also has a life, and i dont intend to interfere with it at this moment for a reason best known to myself, so you might have to lose sleep over that one.but one thing for sure, the word blame doesnt even come into the equasion
Your last paragraph needs looking at in fact it beggars belief.
you state
Almost forgot....earlier in your thread you talk about the SV not responding to anonymous people. Are you saying that anybody who has a genuine enquiry for the SV they will take no notice of, unless they know them? That was a bit of a crazy statement you made isn't it

 Description of an unknown person to the SV or anyone else:  
"A person who the recipient of a letter has never heard of, but who can give credible details of himself as that person. i.e. address - tele No - CORRECT name

Description of an Anonymous person:
  Mikey46  -  Mike Mackenzie -  of apparently no fixed abode, that does not specify whether he has dogs or cats or what he achieves with them, 

to now repeat the last sentence from your writings  That was a bit of a crazy statement you made isn't it    Another post following, hopefully the last.   Mo.

Now to my hopefully last post, but I seem to be a bugger for punishment.

I 99% know who this person is. The nonsense that has come flooding out is a dead giveaway.  I am not the only one that knows, I have had many emails, - thanks for every one of them.... I am sure that others posting on this thread know exactly what the crack is here, and what it is intended to do.  Those people will have read the thread carefully, and seen the same traits in the thread that are in the person involved.  Unfortunately, he hides behind a little veil, and feels safe for now.  He joined particularly on the 4th to come to this thread - amazing - he is a member of BAGSD and he has working dog/s
He is thoroughly enjoying trying to prove the difference between what he calls a show dog as opposed to a working dog.  We could all have done this in one posting if he had asked us straight i am sure.

To anyone that doesnt know me, I can assure you that my dogs are normal bitework dogs, no better, no worse, I on the otherhand am totally green, but trying to learn.  I felt that putting on the Koerung was a way for people in the UK to see that it was achievable themselves, and lots of money doesnt need to be spent on the continent - as we have lots of genuine working guys out there helping us with our show lines now.  We have the odd nutter like this threadworm trying to keep the show people out of what is "their domain" but I dont know what for, it certainly isnt the fear of us beating them at their own game, perhaps its other matters that they feel uncomfortable about - some folks would argue with their own big toe given half a chance.
There will be more Koerungs in this country, please dont let this man put you off putting in your dogs and having a go - I know that nothing underhand went on at the Koerung at all, and nothing was contrived to deceive - and that was all I could have hoped for on a new event.  Many thanks to you all for yur emails.   Mo.

penny/mo

go for it girl u are holdin back three of us saw the disgustin norpe that wudnt come outa the ring to let u do yer korung an we heard wot he shouted . I felt for ya girl why hav u not hung him out ta dry  mind he needes the practice when u saw his results on sunday the prat but ya gotta hand it ta family wen they got theyre dogs round the hides by show means ya big farmer waz gobsmacked wotchin him n her callin the dog round the hide frum the outside of the rope priceless load of wazzucks leave em 

Mo/Penny and team can only be applauded for their efforts in organising the inaugural UK Koerung.  As at most inaugural events it is inevitable that there will be teething problems, and no doubt lessons will have been learned.  I hope that we can look forward to the second koerung.

Sorry I could not make it to the event but it does seem that the only real problem is Mikey57 shame he did not see fit to offer his expertise prior to the event.  I am unsure as to whether his postings are are personal attacks on the organiser(s), the event or both.  It does seem that he is the type of individual who can not take the Judges decision as final.  Surely if the Judges were unhappy they would not have continued.

I wont hold my breath waiting for his response from the SV.

Good Evening All!

Well, well, well, proper little bumbling Columbo's aren't we?

Can we just get one thing straight from the start. You think I am the idiot yelling his mouth of on the field on Saturday? That is very amuzing! I think actually I am rather insulted you even compare me to him!

That whole episode was a farce too! Lots of stamping of feet, holding of breath and dummy spitting!

Penny, you chose to bring your dogs into this topic of conversation. This actually didn't really concern your dogs in particular.

The concern was that this event, the FIRST UK KOERUNG as you put it on many of your posts leading up to it, was a total farce. 

A SOFT PUPPY SLEEVE was used for bitework!

UNEVEN GROUND was used for measuring!

A RIGID STEEL TAPE measure was used!

And then there were issues surrounding the entered dogs soundness to the gun shots! 

One of the biggest problems here is the fact that you, as part of the organising team, try and avoid your responsibility in any part of these issues. That is a big shame really as I truly believe this event could have been a real success!

As I said before, Penny, I applaud you for doing this and being the first to do it. But not in a way that is not in line with rules and regulations.

All the other rubbish that is going on in this thread really shouldn't have started, but it just highlights all the flaws of this Koerung and the GSD scene in general.

Also with regards to my identity, I am 100% bona fide Michael MacKenzie. I will not post my address on a public forum. I also do not have to disclose my address to you personally. The SV have my full details included in the formal corresspondance I have sent.
 

Regards,
Mike.
